Return of the Frozen Player 538
RE：WIND(1)
The fishy smell of blood spread quickly, and silence spread over the walls.
“……Hoo.”
The Heavenly Demon muttered with a surprised expression.
“I didn’t know how you would react to this.”
“master!”
Ha In-ho and Princess Ha hurriedly blocked his way.
After checking the condition of her superior, her face turned white like a sheet of paper.
‘Even if he escaped death, the wounds are deep.’
Blood gushed out from the long, oblique wound on his chest.
If he hadn’t quickly twisted the space in front of him, he wouldn’t be a person in this world anymore.
“Ha ha, ha, team leader Gong.”
Shin Seong-hyeon said, contorting his sweat-stained face.
His vision was dizzy, perhaps because he had shed so much blood in a short period of time.
The princess in front of me also began to look like two people.
“yes yes! master.”
“The Heavenly Demon… … Being here means that Isaac Debord and Valencia Citrindo are nearby… … Keugh!”
“Just keep your mouth shut! More blood coming out!”
“… … It is an order from the guild master.”
Could this be the reflection of light?
Shin Seong-hyun’s eyes became clear like a candle right before it went out.
“Never, the demons… … Don’t miss it.”
“Master… …
The moment Princess Ha bit her lip and nodded in agony.
Shin Seong-hyun’s wounds began to heal noticeably quickly.
Two surprised people with wide eyes
looked at each other
“If it’s not an instant death, I’ll save you somehow, so don’t die.”
Cha Si-eun, a saint of Schmerin, smiled at the two and said in a businesslike voice.
“Don’t overdo it.”
“Hum, big hmm.”
The princess, with tears in her eyes, looked down at him with a displeased expression.
“I was just worried. If you wake up, please wake up.”
“… … I get it.”
Shin Seong-hyeon, who stood up alone with no one to support him, glared at the heavenly horse leaning against the wall as if to kill it.
He was watching the situation with an amused gaze, still with his hands on the wall.
“Innumerable hostility and intent to kill… It feels like I’m back in my hometown.”
There was not a single ally of his on the walls.
In a situation where there were only enemies everywhere, he smiled.
“If not, you can call me.”
The magic that he lightly raised shook the whole area.
“Oooh!”
“Ooh, ooh!”
Some of the nearby players made their stomachs vomit.
Because his demonic energy seemed to contain all the ugliness and injustice of the world.
“Cheonmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
A line of roar pierced the energy and pierced the Heavenly Demon.
Whoops!
The floor of the wall he was standing on collapsed.
The Heavenly Demon, floating leisurely in the air, glanced down at her hand.
He didn’t know that he would be using his hands here without Seo Jun-ho or Kim Woo-jung.
He raised his head and looked at his opponent.
“It’s the first time I see your face… … Who is it?”
The man did not respond.
It just filled my eyes with anger, joy, and unknown longing.
‘Rage, it’s a look I’ve seen many times… …
Joy and longing?
For a moment, the Heavenly Demon’s curiosity toward the man amplifies.
“… … I missed you a lot.”
His eyes shone sharply.
If it was a blade, it was sharp enough to tear the Heavenly Demon’s face dozens of times.
“I really, really, really, really wanted to see it.”
“It’s embarrassing. do you know me?”
“know. know well.”
Pajik, Pajik.
Sparks flew from the man’s body.
After confirming this, the corner of the Heavenly Demon’s mouth parted as if she was having fun.
“indeed. You’re a brain teaser’s disciple. Are you Baek Kun-woo?”
With that one word, the man’s face suddenly changed.
It got colder.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring!
A storm of lightning swept past the Heavenly Demon.
‘quite.’
The Heavenly Demon, who protected herself by releasing demonic energy, nodded.
“Looking at the reaction, it seems right.”
“Don’t put Master in that filthy mouth.”
Only then did he begin to understand the man’s hostility toward him.
The Heavenly Demon remembered him and opened her mouth.
all.
“He was quite a useful soldier. Although the end was miserable.”
“Shut up!”
The excited Paik Kun-wu sighed.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Kwaaang!
Lightning, called a natural disaster, raged to tear apart only one person.
“It’s light and fast.”
The corner of the Heavenly Demon’s mouth slightly curled up after confronting his power directly.
“Just as much as your master.”
* * *
“Ramadat!”
“Know!”
Ramadat, who responded loudly, turned around.
Then, the sword that had been flying toward his heart was lodged in his side.
“… … If you know, avoid it.”
“hmm. Should I?”
Ramadat fell for the opponent holding the sword.
evil! I hit the headbutt.
The opponent who died at once let go of the sword and collapsed on the spot.
Seo Jun-ho, who was watching the scene, shrugged.
“… … Do what is convenient for you.”
“Thank you!”
It’s already been four hours since the battle on the deck started.
The situation was already running towards the end.
Hundreds of transcendent bodies were unable to overcome just three people.
At that time, Seo Jun-ho’s gaze turned to one place.
Because a new enemy has risen on the deck.
“Hoo.”
“Grrrrruk… …
Took.
Ramadat, who abandoned the opponent he was beating up like a burden, grinned.
“I saw the dog and the owner came out.”
“Well, isn’t that about a janitor at least?”
The ones who showed up were the generals of the Empire, Bocello and Bamon.
“Sorry. I should have ended my life somehow last time.”
“it’s okay. That luck continues until today.”
Seo Jun-ho lowered his voice and asked at the sight of the two generals struggling to kill.
“Skaya, Ramadat. Two is enough to catch them, right?”
“I don’t care.”
“Speaking of leaving the seat… … Hwang Ja-jang to fight alone? Are you okay?”
“I don’t want to miss it.”
If he joins forces with the two in this place, he will be able to deal with the generals more easily.
But if that happens, I won’t fight them unless Prince Digor is crazy.
‘I’m sure he’ll run away.’
Unfortunately, they have no way to stop the prince from escaping.
‘That guy’s ability is tricky.’
If only the prince disappeared, the benefits to the players would be enormous.
There will be no more restrictions on space movement, and the community will be able to use it.
‘Considering the upcoming attacks on the research institute and power plant, we must catch them unconditionally here.’
After reading Seo Jun-ho’s thoughts, the two nodded.
“If that’s what you mean… … okay. Here, somehow, I’ll grab you by the collar and carry you.”
“gibberish. I can overcome those two by myself.”
“Heng! You are laughing!”
These two people can be trusted.
As Seo Jun-ho was about to leave, Bar Mon twitched his eyebrows.
“Hey, I don’t remember giving permission to leave.”
Seo Jun-ho, who only glanced at him, ignored it and continued on his way. Bamon pulled out a spear stuck in the ground and threw it at him.
“Informally, what are you doing?”
A spear that flew away at the tall, determined voice
stopped in this void.
Skaya crossed her arms and clicked her tongue lightly.
“Don’t hold on to those who say they will go sloppy. We will play.”
“… … You are a cheeky woman.”
“What are you talking about?”
Bocello muttered quietly as he drew his weapon.
“You just have to beat those two to death and go after them. That is enough.”
“Oh, this is a little tricky.”
Ramadat turned his head left and right and walked forward with a grin.
“You guys have the same strategy as us.”
* * *
Upon entering the captain’s office, Prince Digor was still sitting in his chair, staring at the screen.
“… … Really. Because it’s boring.”
The prince muttered in a slightly tired voice and turned the chair round and round.
He looked at Seo Jun-ho and said.
“Did you know how much damage we suffered because of you lesser humans?”
“Everyone knows.”
Seo Jun-ho burst out laughing.
It’s because he moved so hard to do a lot of damage.
“It’s not enough to have killed close to 10,000 people of the empire, today I broke this airship, the only one in the empire. It really can’t be a big damage.”
“Why, was it your favorite airship?”
It was a smirking reply that made him angry, but Prince Digor smiled instead.
“Well, yes. It seems that jokes still come out of his mouth.”
“Perhaps in the future… …
Seo Jun-ho suddenly blurted out his words.
It was because his eyes, unconsciously looking at the screen, saw incomprehensible scenes.
“What’s next? Please finish what you said.”
Seo Jun-ho’s poetry in Digor’s sarcasm
The line was fixed on the screen.
” why?”
The walls of the castle, made of ice and supposed to be transparent, were stained with red blood.
It was all the player’s blood.
“Well, why… … ?”
The walls built for walking around were full of corpses.
All of them were players’ corpses.
“Kuk. It looks like you twisted your energy and didn’t know the situation below.”
Digor shrugged.
As shown on the screen, the battle on the ground had already ended.
“As you can see. I have already achieved my purpose.”
Only then did Digor get up from his seat and smile.
“That means I have no reason to fight you.”
Before he could say to wait, De Gorr twisted the space and disappeared.
* * *
Missing Digor, Seo Jun-ho immediately jumped off the airship.
‘I can’t do that. He lied to confuse me.’
He thought the screen was tampered with.
There was no reason for the players of the ice castle, the competent veterans, to collapse so vainly.
People who have expectations feel more disappointed when those expectations are not met
am.
Seo Jun-ho’s expression as he stepped down on the red wall became as dry as the desert.
The two pupils slowly scan the top of the castle wall.
There was Gongju-ha, Shin Seong-hyeon, and Cha Si-eun.
“Chief Gong, Shin Seong-hyun… … Mr. Sieun?”
All of them stare at the rising morning sun without even closing their eyes.
Seo Jun-ho forcibly suppressed the rising feeling of nausea.
“hmm? It is human.”
“There was still one left… …
Quagwagwagwagwa!
The transcendent bodies blocking the way were torn into thousands of pieces by the raging darkness.
Seo Jun-ho retook his steps.
‘no. It’s not like this.’
It’s been a long time since I’ve been broken in the unacceptable reality.
Rather, he longed for it.
I hope that his ‘Hero’s Mental Power (EX)’ will be activated.
‘Come on, tell me. That someone was hallucinating me. All of this is actually a lie.’
But the savage system window was silent.
“Frost! Geonwoo hyung! Son Chae-won!”
Seo Jun-ho ran inside the castle.
In order to find any survivors, he hopes that at least one more face he knows is alive.
‘Familiar energy… … !’
rattle!
Chasing the spirits, own personal gym
Seo Jun-ho’s eyes shook as he opened the door.
“Oh, there you are.”
The Heavenly Demon welcomed him with a welcoming smile.
Paik Kun-wu was dead at his feet.
Just like Master’s end, with his limbs cut off.
“It was fun. Even my teacher and his habits are exactly the same. It felt like killing the same human twice.”
He was excited, like a child telling his parents what he was playing.
continued to speak.
“Oh, have you seen this one too?”
At the place he pointed to, there were Kim Woo-jung and Son Chae-won.
There was Son Chae-won with a sword stuck in her abdomen, and Kim Woo-jung, who knelt in front of him and was in awe.
“He killed that woman on my orders, and that’s how it turned out. If I knew it would be broken like this, it would have been better to kill the woman with my own hands… …
“Cheonmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
A loud voice shook the whole area.
Water droplets dripped from Seo Jun-ho’s eyes as he let out his anger.
“… … In the end, you cried.”
The Heavenly Demon laughs.
He didn’t just laugh lightly, he grabbed his stomach and burst into laughter.
“ha ha ha! In the end, I made you cry.”
Seo Jun-ho couldn’t say anything.
A deep sense of lethargy and desolation enveloped his body, and his gaze fell to the ground.
‘If only it was going to be like this in the end. What am I still protecting… …
He closed both his eyes.
everything is over
didn’t keep anything
that was funny
“Keuk, kkeuk. Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Seo Jun-ho also laughed along with the heavenly horse. Because it was funny.
After laughing for a long time, I felt someone in front of me.
“June… … like.”
It was Kim Woo-joong.
Dried tears were visible under his eyes.
he asked
“Kill… … give it.”
committed an unforgivable sin.
He lost his intelligence and became a demon and killed the player.
I killed the most precious forehead in the world with my own hands.
Kim Woo-jung wanted to die, but he couldn’t harm himself.
“Please, kill me. please… …
Seo Jun-ho grabbed the sword he held out as he shed tears of blood.
The moment he raised his head and looked into his eyes, Seo Jun-ho realized.
Kim Woo-joong was utterly destroyed.
There were no Sword Saints who rode through the world with a single sword, nor Sword Demons who wielded ruthless swords.
I don’t know how things got to this point.
‘If the Heavenly Demon was here
If only I had known in advance. If only I had been more careful.’
Deep regret springs up.
I didn’t have the courage to move forward carrying the lives of young stars who were shining infinitely.
Wait, regret?
-When you are the hardest and most exhausted. When you regret something to the point of wanting to die, take it out at that time.
Suddenly, the words of the World Tree pass through my mind
passed
Seo Jun-ho took out a small wooden box from his inventory.
I didn’t have the courage to open the box.
because you’ve already learned
That people are betrayed because they expect.
“hurry… … death to me.”
Seo Jun-ho, who was staring at the begging Kim Woo-jung, bit his lip.
What changes even if you think about it in place
does not exist.
Because it was his life that he continued to move forward even when he was bumped into, broken, exploded, and smashed.
Click.
When the wooden box was opened, inside was crumpled paper and a note.
-sorry.
The note started with an apology from the World Tree.
Seo Jun-ho’s face darkened.
– In areas other than the 4th floor, the administrator’s
Your strength will plummet, and you won’t be able to fully unfold your abilities.
– But obviously. You can change a lot depending on how you use it.
-Please, I wish you good luck in your future.
A trembling hand pointed at the crumpled paper.
There was nothing written on the piece of paper that he slowly unfolded.
“… “This.”
It is felt only by touch.
what kind of paper is this?
why don’t you know
“Item Appraisal.”

Content: Junho’s diary, the last page of it.
It was the feel of the paper that I had been carrying around for 17 years.
make up feathers.
Seo Jun-ho gripped the paper tightly.
‘ said the World Tree. The ability of the Diary will not be fully demonstrated.’
But it didn’t matter.
If only I could change this dog-like reality even a little bit.
Because he was ready to give anything at all.
“Kim Woo-joong.”
The dead Seo Jun-ho’s eyes were filled with light again.
It is a light called hope.
“Don’t give up.”
Putting a hand on his shoulder, Seo Jun-ho promised in a firm voice.
“Because I will protect everything.”
Kim Woo-jung, who was shedding bloody tears, smiled faintly.
‘iced coffee.’
The appearance of Seo Jun-ho now is the past.
– Don’t give up.
I used to watch it on TV when I was a kid.
-I will protect you.
Because there was no difference from the hero he longed for.
Fu-wook! Seo Jun-ho thrust his sword into my heart.
